Family Fun Run

We did something new today! Most of the family ran a 5k. With the exception of Tim who had an ACT prep class and Caleb who had a rehearsal, the rest of us ran 3.2 miles this morning. Adam's best friend, Adam Steele, has a sister who is battling leukemia. She has been sick for about 5 months and just had a bone marrow transplant this week. The elementary, jr. high and high school all advertised and raised money for Rachel's Make-a-Wish activity so we joined in. It was fun to start together and then see where it went! Adam and Clark took off and Missy decided to stay up with them. Maddy and Hannah (the girls' friend) slowed up a little and Cathy was somewhere in between. When it was all over, Adam and Missy finished around 30 minutes, Clark 32:05, Cathy 42 and Maddy 43:09. (In my defense, I jogged in place and backtracked a bit to make sure that two girls didn't get too far behind!) It was fun to run as a family and to see everyone finish and support a great girl and a great cause! (The picture has Adam Steele on the left and Hannah in the front with the girls.)
